Chapter 1304: Chapter 1304: Another Price

"How did you break through my protection!" Su Zi looked at the Dragon Slayer Sword stopped at her glabella, her voice charged with emotion as she spoke.

She had spent so much time inside the room, naturally not to touch up her makeup. More importantly, she had used the time to prepare magical artifacts to deal with any emergencies.

However, Su Zi hadn’t anticipated that even though she had readied a defensive magic artifact well in advance, Su Chengyu’s sword easily breached it.

The artifact she had prepared, albeit a high-grade Spiritual Artifact, seemed to be nonexistent in front of Su Chengyu, simply pierced through by his weapon.

Su Chengyu looked indifferently at Su Zi and said, "Your Ancient Clan is always like this, taking yourselves too seriously, a bunch of stubborn old conservatives, always thinking you’re superior. Little do you know, others have long stopped considering you important."

"You..." Just as Su Zi was about to retort, the Dragon Slayer Sword moved forward another inch, causing her to instantly shut her mouth.

Indeed, she loathed Su Chengyu, but she wasn’t to the point of losing all sense of reason. Su Chengyu’s ease in breaking through her defenses had made her realize that in her current state, barely maintaining the strength of the Late-stage Hollow Void, she was probably no match for Su Chengyu standing before her.

Yang Junmo saw this scene and gleefully said, "Weren’t you acting all high and mighty when you ambushed us earlier? Why so silent now?"

"If you really kill me, the Su Clan won’t let you go. Didn’t Ye Qingci tell you?" Su Chengyu continued, "I know, but like I said, I don’t care. If Capital City won’t accommodate me, there’s plenty of space in this wide world for me to be."

Su Zi was thoroughly deflated by Su Chengyu’s words and took a deep breath before speaking, "What exactly do you want?"

Su Chengyu looked around the circle and said, "Although Ye Qingci has taught you a lesson, the Su Clan still owes me an apology."

"What do you want?" Su Zi continued to ask.

Su Chengyu scanned the surroundings and said, "I think this mansion is quite nice. I happen to need a mansion recently..."

"That’s impossible!" Su Zi interjected before Su Chengyu could finish his statement.

Su Chengyu turned his head and said, "Still think I won’t dare to kill you?" Su Zi frowned, unable to gauge the situation.

She didn’t know much about Su Chengyu, having learned of his name only during this visit to the Capital City.

Now, apart from knowing that Su Chengyu was indeed powerful, she also knew about Feng Jie Yu taking down Long TingSheng for him.

And Feng Jie Yu, Su Zi was much more familiar with—an impulsive madman who disregarded consequences.

The mere act of him killing Long TingSheng publicly this time was enough to show that the current Feng Jie Yu was not much different from before. She found it hard not to worry about Su Chengyu being in league with people like Feng Jie Yu.

"I don’t have the authority to agree to this. This mansion belongs to the Su Clan, and I’m merely living here temporarily."

"That’s your problem. Doesn’t the Su Clan have great expectations for you? If you make a deal, what’s wrong with the Su Clan footing the bill?"

"You..." Su Zi’s brow was tightly knit.

Indeed, the Su Clan held great hope for Su Zi internally. In the past century, besides Su Linyuan and Su Zhedian, who were removed from the family tree, the rising stars of the Su family had been overwhelmingly mediocre.

Relying on her considerable talent and beautiful appearance, Su Zi had become the most outstanding junior of the Su Clan in a hundred years.

If it were before, she would naturally be confident in convincing the Su Clan to let go of a private mansion in Capital City for her sake.

But what was she now?

Su Zi, whose cultivation had been destroyed by Ye Qingci’s sword strike, was no different from a disabled person.

She was well aware that her current position wasn’t significant enough to make the Su Clan give up anything for her!

"Su Chengyu, don’t push people too far!" Su Zi clenched her fists, staring daggers at Su Chengyu.

In her view, Su Chengyu was clearly making things difficult for her.

And seeing this, Su Chengyu finally confirmed that it wasn’t that Su Zi was unwilling, but that she truly couldn’t do it.

"So, this is the Ancient Clan?"

With a cold laugh, Su Chengyu looked up and asked Su Zi, "Then what if I tell you that I have a way to restore your strength?"

"What did you say?"

Su Zi looked up in disbelief at Su Chengyu. Beside her, Yang Junmo and Bei Tang Qianxiao were also surprised.

Su Chengyu spoke unhurriedly, "Over the past half a month, you must have tried a number of methods, all without success, right?"

Su Zi nodded, "Only a God-ranked Elixir might..."

"The Su Clan doesn’t have any?" Su Chengyu asked in return.

"We do, it’s just that..."

"They just don’t want to use it on you, right?"

Su Zi fell silent.

To use a God-ranked Elixir on Su Zi for a possibility was too great a cost for the Su Clan after all.

Although Su Zi’s talent wasn’t bad, her cultivation had stagnated, and the Su Clan had once assessed that she had no hope of ascending in this lifetime.

Moreover, even if Su Zi genuinely regained her cultivation, the value of a Late-stage Hollow Void Cultivator was far less than that of a God-ranked Elixir.

It’s better to let Su Zi barely survive at the Early-stage Hollow Void, where she could still retain some residual value.

Seeing Su Zi’s reaction, Su Chengyu, who had already sensed an answer inwardly, said with a smile, "The Su Clan can’t restore your strength, but I can."

"You?"

Su Zi looked skeptically at Su Chengyu, clearly not believing him.

"Don’t look at me like that, I indeed don’t have that ability. But it was Ye Qingci who destroyed your cultivation, so naturally, it is also Ye Qingci who can help you recover."

Su Zi didn’t speak, her expression clearly fluctuating. It made sense, but even Ye Qingci might not necessarily have the means to restore her.

Since ancient times, it always had been much easier to destroy something than to protect it.

"Why should I believe you?"

"Do you have a choice?" Su Chengyu asked without waiting for an answer. "Either you trust me, or you’ll be stuck for the rest of your life, with your realm possibly even declining over time."

Although what Su Chengyu said sounded harsh, Su Zi understood that it was the truth.

In the end, Su Zi made a decision, "Fine, if you really can restore my strength, I can arrange for the Su Clan to use this manor as compensation."

"No, compensation is compensation. Restoring your cultivation comes at another price."

Su Chengyu unabashedly negotiated on the spot, clearly dissatisfying Su Zi, who managed to suppress the anger in her heart considering her situation.

"What else do you want?"

Without speaking, Su Chengyu extended his hand toward Su Zi.

Su Zi was stunned for a moment, not catching on immediately.

Only then did Su Chengyu say, "There’s no need to doubt, what I want is you."

"Su Chengyu! Don’t push your luck!"

Feeling humiliated, Su Zi couldn’t restrain herself and burst out in anger.

But Su Chengyu didn’t care in the slightest, murmuring softly, "Right now you’re essentially useless. I’m offering you a chance to return to the stage, to be reborn. Is my request really that unreasonable?"

Su Chengyu turned his gaze toward Yang Junmo. Beside them, Yang Junmo, who had not expected Su Chengyu to be so excessive, now showed him a thumbs up.

"Not at all, I think it’s quite reasonable."

Bei Tang Qianxiao, somewhat confused about Su Chengyu’s intentions, still impartially commented, "Indeed, it doesn’t seem excessive."

"You..."

Overwhelmed by a strong sense of shame, and having never been toyed with like this before, Su Zi’s face turned beet red.

But Su Chengyu just spoke matter-of-factly with a smile, "Fairy Su, you don’t need to be so angry. The choice is still in your hands. I’m merely offering you a path. You can either remain a castoff by the Su Clan or follow my orders from now on. The decision is but a thought away for the Fairy."
